Help With Cut Ear

[Taz-n-Lily 62]

Unlikely to be scar tissue with infection after all this time.

I would go with a foreign body in the wound which is preventing healing, and a bit of scar tissue.

Cheers for the help so far lads here's a couple of pictures i had him out earlier and i think he's knocked abit of the scab off so that's why it looks like it's bleeding abit on one of them.

it looks ok when they cut the end of there ears it always goes thicker on the end booth my beddys have thicker bits on the end of ears, its just scar tissue , tip if your dog only nips the ear its a bit brutal but it works strike a couple of matches and dab on the cut stops the bleeding straight away, only small cuts though

Bathing that in salt water with a few drops of tea tree oil 3 times a day would be far better and help it heal much quicker .......

Salt water is an excellent antiseptic, and promotes healing. It could be that the cream you are using is stopping the scab from forming properly. Handful of salt in a basin of warm water. Use a clean flannel or cloth to soak the wound. Don't make the salt solution too strong - at that strength it will do the job and not sting.

 

Also, and I don't know what anyone else thinks, but looking at the size of the wound I would have said it needed a stitch when it first happened. Easy to say afterwards, I know, and I'm not casting any blame. We've probably all had a tear in a dog and been unsure if it needed stitching or not.

Manuka honey is great for wounds it has natural healing propeties and will speed up the healing process. Its been tried and tested and has a great sucess rate. I recommend it to anyone ATB
